This Is Really Happening

BuzzFeed editor Erin Chack hits you in the guts, the feels, and the funny bone all at once in this debut essay collection. From getting her first sloppy kiss to narrowly escaping a bear attack to becoming an accidental viral sensation in Malta, Erin hilariously captures the agony and the ecstasy of the millennial experience. Yet, she also offers a fresh perspective on timeless subjects of resilience, mortality, and love as she recounts her experiences surviving cancer at 19 - including learning of her mother’s own cancer diagnosis within the same year.
